Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range


Hi guys, slowly upgrading my system on a bang for the buck budget. Anyone know of a musical, dynamic amp for under a grand? I would prefer new, but if anyone knows of a good deal on the used market, that could work, as well.

I really liked the NuPrime ST-10.

I have a PrimaLuna PL5, but it lacks a bit of power @ 4Ω. The ST-10 has plenty of power, great balance and images very well with Spica TC-50, a coherent speaker like the Vandy's.

I soon take possession of a couple of tube monoblocks, so will be selling both the PL5 and ST-10.

PM if interested.

The Emotiva PA-1 is an interesting  Ice monoblock.  It has one published review that I have seen. (135/270 watts rms  at 8/4 ohms but only at 1 KHz.)  Positive review ( https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/amplifier/power-amplifier/emotiva-pa-1-balanced-class-d-power-amplifier-review/).    Balanced circuit, $300 per side.  I am hopeful to hear it at AXPONA.  If it's decent, it's inexpensive enough to get until the Gallium Nitride  FET driver class D amps come down in price.

Just a thought.

What do you think about this one?

Audio GD is good value, but the Schiit is in the US, good for backup, and they give you a trial period so you can send it back if for some reason you don't like it. 
Here is a 30 page read on the $700 Schiit Vidar, and many more threads on the net if you search.
